Thanks SB - that makes sense. Appreciate the explanation.

Any thoughts from those more qualified than I on the potential for the developing La Niña to be a central pacific focussed / Modoki event?

The June just gone was one of the warmest on record for the upper North Island. One reliable weather station in Grey Lynn, Auckland recorded a mean max temperature of 17.4C and a mean low of 9.8C. Quite toasty for the first month of winter. Warmest day topped out at 20.2C (22/06). http://greylynnweather.net/climatedataout62020.html Auckland Aero clocked a mean high of 16.7C for the month (+1.5C above average). Last weekend also saw a pretty significant ‘outbreak’ of tornados. I noted five over the two days reported in the area between Whangarei down to the Bay of Plenty (3 of which were in/around Auckland).

That’s perfect, exactly what I was looking for - thanks very much! Not sure how I wasn’t aware of it already... -
South East and East Anglia Weather Discussion Sept 2019 onwards
Kentish Kiwi replied to Blessed Weather's topic in Regional
Hi all, sorry for this rather off topic question. I wondered if anyone knows where I may be able to find a record of monthly average highs for London? Eg what was the average high in July 2018. I’m curious as to what the average high temperatures were in our hottest summer months but can’t find it anywhere on google. Everywhere just seems to list the overall mean... Would be very grateful if someone can point me in the right direction. -
Stratosphere and Polar Vortex Watch
Kentish Kiwi replied to Paul's topic in Spring Weather Discussion
Unsure how relevant this is, but it may be worth noting that New Zealand has just experienced its warmest month on record, and might be on track for its warmest summer on record if February continues the trend.- 3,859 replies

Convective/Storm Discussion Thread - 8th July onwards
Kentish Kiwi replied to Supacell's topic in Storms & Severe Weather
One of the best thunderstorms I've ever seen. Still flashing away multiple times a minute but now tailing off here in NW Kent. Not exaggerating when I say we had around 45 minutes with lightning every c.5/10 seconds. -
Wimbledon has seen 34.3C recorded already today. Only 0.3C away from the 1976 record. Cooler now I suspect with that cloud moving through London. Still a chance over the next two hours if the sun holds out for long enough...
-
I can't help but feel that the cloud cover might scupper any record breaking. Have seen temperatures plateau after 12pm on several occasions. Don't forget that the rise in temperature will also slow considerably around 35C. Further - I feel like the Wimbledon record isn't a cert by any means. N/NW London may well be a good 2/3 degrees hotter than SW19. My call is for somewhere to tip into 36C but no further.

Any chance somebody could clear up to me whether Pam is still considered a tropical cyclone? All the major news outlets in NZ are reporting it as 'tropical cyclone Pam'. Obviously these can be quite misleading and mostly they don't understand that there are certain characteristics needed to be classed as a tropical cyclone... NZ Herald even reported that Pam had 'been downgraded to a category 4 cyclone' which is a bit of a joke (pretty sure it's weaker than that now!). To my knowledge only one true tropical cyclone has ever hit NZ having not already turned extra-tropical. But Pam does seem to have retained a lot of it's structure and there are still 20c 850 hPa temps at it's core?

South East & East Anglia Regional Discussion - January 12th 2013>
Kentish Kiwi replied to Snowangel-MK's topic in Regional
Driving from Kent to Nottingham (University) around 6ish early tomorrow morning and then dad will be driving back at around 10am if all goes to plan. I've been bogged down by revision so haven't been able to keep up to date with the snow situation... Can anyone advise if we are likely to run into anything on the journeys there or back in terms of snow? Any help much appreciate -

Warm/hot Spell Discussion 22nd May Onwards
Kentish Kiwi replied to Milhouse's topic in Spring Weather Discussion
Unbelievable. Potentially the best five days of the summer for the north-west? -
Calling others naive while claiming you recorded -17C in April. Right...

Settled/warm Spell Discussion
Kentish Kiwi replied to summer blizzard's topic in Spring Weather Discussion
I think you've missed his point there... -
Daily highs still consistently over 25C, up to 30C in some cases - http://www.weatherwatch.co.nz/category/daily-highs

We are not in summer.
-
18C here. Thought it was an error! Very likely the best February day I've experienced (in England that is).

London & The South East Regional Discussion - Part 11

I used to quite like him but I've recently followed him on twitter and all he goes on about are 'warmingistas' which I find extremely irritating, arrogant and rather childish. -

Just turned on the light outside and found it's snowing very lightly... Bitterly cold. -

Kentish Kiwi replied to kold weather's topic in Regional
But we DO have snowcover? -
Becoming slightly lighter now after a heavy burst. 7-12cm's here depending on the surface and the part of the garden, 10cm average I'd say. A pretty good show but fizzling out now slightly earlier than expected. Has been mostly moderate intensity of small/fine flakes through the night with a heavy period from 1-2am. Will try to drag myself out of bed at 7am to see how things are looking, the chance that something will happen to allow it to snow for another couple of hours and put another cm or two down. Hopefully the snow'll stick around and be topped up by another round from the east later this coming week!
